Youth Policy Seminar: Graduate School Loan Caps and Boston's Education and Workforce Pipeline

Join the Office of Youth Engagement and Advancement (OYEA) for a Special Youth Policy Seminar on Graduate School Access!

September 22, 2026
Event Date2026-09-22T10:00:00 - 2026-09-22T12:00:00

Recent federal policy changes are restricting access to graduate level education for low-income and marginalized communities. New borrowing limits threaten to shut Boston youth out of professions that require advanced degrees such as healthcare, law, and higher education.

Join OYEA and Leadership Brainery, a Boston-based non-profit specializing in equitable access to advanced education, for a special youth policy seminar on this subject. You'll learn about these changes, potential policy solutions, and practical strategies to use when advising young people about graduate education. Whether you work with young people directly, play a role in youth policy, or are a current or prospective graduate student, this session is for you!
